Memiors of a Country Boy - or, Are There Any of Them Big Ol' Red Crawdads Over on Ring Slough?
Larry Murley wanted to write a story of his coming of age in his community in Clay County, in Northeastern Arkansas during the 1950’s. He didn’t want it to be just his story, but a generalization of the youth of his time place and locality. He chose a fictional character named Johnny in honor of a boyhood friend, John Mansker. The story he hopes to portray includes first loves, and the lifestyles of his community. Their hopes and dreams and aspirations, and some of the histories of their parents, termed “The Great Generation”. It is his desire that this story will give you a better understanding of the 50’s and country life.
